day 9: pokhara- ktm
is it possible?

It is certainly possible as the distances are no all that long, but you are highly likely to get AMS either at MBC or at ABC at the latest. Common wisdom recommends having one more night stop at Deurali, few hours before MBC. I know those days before and after Deurali would be just 2-3 hours, but it is the altitude which causes AMS.

Down you can run as fast a comfortably possible. With the road now near Ghandruk and also Landruk it should be possible for a fit and determined person to get from ABC to Pokhara in two days.

thanks for ur reply. actually my partner wants to watch the sunrise at ABC. that's why I was planning to start trekking from ghandruk base.
we will arrive on 27th and return flight is on 6th at 3:30 pm. can u plz make us an effective itenary. that help will be highly appreciated.

Transport to Gandruk stops in Kimche, about 1-2 hrs walk below Gandruk.

If trying to get to ABC as short as possible, take transport to SIWAI, then walk via Beehive (lodges), New Bridge (lodges) and Jinhu Danda (lodges) to Chomrong. You might be able to make it to Jinhu Danda on first day.

To be safe, you need to add a night before MBC - - probably Deurali.

To "save" a day (if running short of time), get up early at MBC for 2 hour walk (with headlamp) up to ABC for sunrise, then walk down (pick up packs at MBC) as far as you can (likely below Deurali).

thanks a lot for ur valuable advice. can u make me an itenary of 10 days KTM-KTM? That would be a great help.

How about;
Day 1 Arrive Kathmandu, organise permit And TIMS card
Day 2 Kathmandu - Pokhara by bus then jeep to Siwai
Day3 Siwai -New Bridge - Chomrong
Day 4 Chomrong - Bamboo
Day 5 Bamboo - Deurali
Day 6 Deurali - MBC
Day 7 MBC - ABC - Himalayan Hotel
Day 8 Himalayan Hotel- Chomrong - Jinhu Danda
Day 9 Jihnu Danda - Nayapul - Pokhara
Day 10 Pokhara - Kathmandu

It would be doable but I doubt it would be enjoyable.
However, you could gain almost a full day by flying between Kathmandu and Pokhara
